Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes across Greater Manchester
For Manchester landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with. If you let a holiday home or annexe near Manchester, one system can warm it before guests arrive and cool it in summer. North West summers are cooler, so many systems here earn their keep as efficient heaters, with cooling for the warmest weeks.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%.

Planning and permissions
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
